Tips

In the derived class, define fill methods to insert content for each hole in the template.

Use this signature:

fillHOLE_ID(docObj);

HOLE_ID is the ID of a hole defined by the template that the document uses, and docObj

is an instance of the derived class. When invoked on a derived Document object, the fill

method moves from the first hole in the document to the last, invoking the corresponding

fillHOLE_ID method at each hole. This approach eliminates the need for additional

code to loop through the holes in a template.
